The Johnstown Flood of 1889

Bygone

Hello my darling Barcrawlers! This week Anais and Kate talk about the Johnstown Flood of 1889. This horrible event was caused by rich people doing stupid shit and causing thousands of people to die. It ended up being a crazy mix of a dam breaking, multiple bridges, railroads, barbed wire, fire, and whatever else you could possibly imagine. So, come on in and listen to the event that was so bad that it changed how liability was dealt with in the US. I mean, we love to let rich people get away with a lot, but we had to draw a line here! Pour a drink, you are gonna need it, and join us for this insane story (and don't forget to go look at the pictures on instagram and facebook).
